kai-taste SKILL.md skillA
kai-taste from cgallic/kai-cmo-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cgallic/kai-cmo-harness/kai-taste@git:20260728.03f3aaePins git:20260728.03f3aae in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audit or design generative AI interfaces against three diagnostic pillars (deterministic-stochastic balance, interaction density, visual cohesion). Treats taste as a measurable control system, not subjective preference. Use when: 'taste audit', 'score this UI', 'design quality', 'interaction density', 'visual cohesion', 'refiner layer', 'correction cost', 'why does this feel off', 'polish this', 'design review', or building any user-facing AI product.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Design Taste: Engineering Framework Taste is a control system that converts stochastic model output into reliable user outcomes with minimal correction cost. It is not subjective preference — it has measurable proxies, diagnosable failure modes, and an engineering protocol. **Two modes:** - **Audit** — score an existing UI, product, or generated output against the Three Pillars - **Design** — apply taste principles when building new features or interfaces **Iron law:** Taste must remain subordinate to function. The moment the system's correction vector dominates the user's intent vector, the product crosses from high-fidelity to high-friction. --- ## The Three Pillars Every generative AI product sits in a 3-dimensional taste space. Score each pillar independently. | Pillar | What It Measures | Control Knobs | Bad Signal | |--------|-----------------|---------------|------------| …

How to install
mdr add cgallic/kai-cmo-harness/kai-taste@sha256:e60330886cefeaecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.03f3aae, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
